A Day With The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
I found this ebook via islamicbulletin, however it is available in paperback in most islamic book shop's.
Demonstrating that Islam is not just a religion, it truly is a way of life. This book is very similar to the '40 hadith' book, but I feel the structure's alot better.
It walks us through a general daily routine of a Muslim, using hadith to make the most of our time and to also improve our daily life.
The hadith (tradition's/saying's of the prophet Muhammad) are easy to understand, to help the reader incorporate them into their daily life.
It's a very easy and quick read.
It is not a book of prose, so if you are looking for that then this isn't your book, although the intro just like many islamic book's is prose however the main of the book isn't. It's set out in short chapter's with several hadith below it, meaning it is great for reference!
Chapter title's include:
Morning prayer
Reading the Quran at dawn
Cleanliness
Visiting the sick
Giving charity
Using the right hand (ever wonder why everyone shakes hands with their right hand??!)
Family
Gifts
Teaching and learning
Intercourse
Sleep
Rememberance of Allah SWT.
...and there's lot's more :)
You could be rewarded in every part of your day, that's an amazing thing because non of these thing's can harm us, only benefit us. What a fulfilling way to live, alhamdulilah.
It's straightforward, great for new and 'old' Muslim's.
Highly recommended.

just for a day, i can feel the perfection of akhlaq of nabi sallallahu'alayhiwassalam. his actions, words and wisdoms in something throughout a day. in general.
to those who wanna improve on akhlaq in dealing for example, this is the good one. but to learn with explanation, better find book like forty hadiths which has further discussion. :)
happy reading.

A Day with the Prophet. Peace upon him, prophet Muhammad Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam.
Very fascinating book. A lot of things you can learn by reading this book.
The book is brilliantly structured on demonstrating the daily routines of prophet Muhammad Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam from morning until night by compiling selected hadiths from Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Jami's at-Tirmizi, Abi Dawud, Sunan Al-Nasai, and Sunan Ibnu Majah.
Readers are not just can learn about the best way they should live by taking prophet Muhammad Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam as their model, they also can learn about the Arabic language and pronunciation by reading the Hadiths.
The Hadiths are well written, translated, and easy to understand. In addition as for Muslims, this is the best chance to educated themself in learning Hadiths and apply it to daily life for becoming good servants besides getting rewards from Allah for their efforts.
Really recommend this book.

This book suggests a way to live each day as the way the prophet Muhamed peace be upon him lived. Instead of the Western life method that has always been brought to us as the one and the only way of living.
As the way we live, each day affects our attitude towards our life, then it is most important to have a daily routine that helps us get the best from us.
For most of us, an ordinary day is pretty uneventful; yet the quality of our everyday life is crucially important to our peace and happiness. Living that life can be a pleasure and a joy, but it can also be a burden and a misery or, quite simply, a boring and meaningless exercise. It all depends on how we live each day: with what attitudes we approach it, and with what outward actions we fill its hours. Living we cannot escape, and deep within us lies a constant longing search for a life of joy and meaning, this longing quest has gained an extra dimension in our time, as manifest in our preoccupation with what we call ‘lifestyle’. But through a new ‘style’ comes into vogue almost daily, the real ‘life’ in living remains elusive as ever.
Starting from the early morning and his routine through the rest of the day. A little tiny book that reveals secrets of the way the best human being in the world has lived coming with different Hadiths written both in Arabic and English that gives more evidence and awareness to the importance of the simple task.
His total freedom from servitude to any created thing, especially to external physical objects and to false internal notions.
Every ordinary activity is oriented towards God, not by taking us away from the chores of daily life, but by making God the very core of that life and existence. Life is no longer abysmal darkness, with a past shaped by the blind force of chance and staring into a future without hope of meaning. Instead, every word and deed from the morning till evening is firmly rooted in our origins and looks forward to a glorious future.
It was such a sweet read that reveals how our prophet’s life a simple daily life but one full of meaning and purpose.

Menghimpunkan hadis-hadis Nabi SAW bermula daripada bangun tidur sehingga tidur malam.
Antara yang menarik dapat diambil daripada buku ini.
1. Buat apa-apa mula dengan Bismillah
2. Licinkan pinggan sebab kita tak tahu kat mana ada barakah dalam rezeki itu
3. Bila kita bersin tutuplah mulut dengan tangan atau kain supaya tidak bising

Buku yang biasa tapi tidak biasa. Biasa karena isi buku ini mungkin sudah sering kali kita baca di berbagai buku lain--bahkan mungkin sudah hafal. Tidak biasa karena penyusunannya yang membuat buku ini jadi lebih bermakna dari buku kumpulan hadits lain.
Ya, buku ini berisi hadits-hadits panduan Rasul tentang kehidupan sehari-hari. Yang rutin kita lakukan tiap hari. Dari bangun tidur hingga kembali tidur. Berurut. Dari shalat, mandi, makan, minum, bersin, menguap, mengucap salam, berbicara dengan orang lain, hingga doa jima'. Semua yang sering kita lakukan setiap hari.
Betapa Islam begitu teratur mengarahkan kita. Sepertinya di Indonesia saya belum menemukan buku tentang hadits yang disusun simpel namun sangat teratur seperti ini. Wallahu'alam.

Fell in love with this book after reading the author's introduction. Not one of the most detailed books ever written on the hadiths, but it has done an amazing job to spark readers' interest to learn and follow the sunnahs of Rasulullah s.a.w. The simplicity of the book is perfect for beginners like me who has just only started to learn more about our beloved Prophet.

Sunnah yang dilakukan dalam seharian oleh baginda Rasulullah SAW.
Benda yang simple, yang sering kita lakukan tapi mungkin kita tak perasan ia adalah sunnah Nabi.
Kita kata kita cinta Nabi,
maka buktikan.
Buktikan dengan mengikuti sunnah Nabi.
Buktikan dengan mengikuti perjuangan Nabi.
